The lyrics... A relationship at the edge of ending. Broken promises. They are quite interesting.

The music...As Tom said, it's one of the loudest songs in the album. I liked it. I've just learnt it by heart and it's stuck to my mind now

Was listening to the A&A demo and realized that the lyrics were different than what's on the album. I like both versions... but the directness of the demo lyrics got to me. Thought I'd post them here (the demo lyrics are in red ):

A&A Demo Lyrics

Was it all in real time or was it all in my mind

Was I just a ghost passing through you

Clinging to the wreckage, till I got the message?

Well I'll just hang around till we're through

*We've got nothing to say

And I don't want to get in your way

I don't wanna be on my own at the end of the day

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in your eyes, in your eyes

They were just easy lies

The little words are heavy and promises are easy

And no one's every happy or sad for very long

Well just because I said it, doesn't mean I meant it

I guess that was the way all along

*But I know that you're right

And I don't wanna put up a fight

I don't wanna be on my own at the end of the night!

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in my eyes, in my eyes

They were just easy lies

*What a type; that's what we like

Keep it bright; that's what we like

The things you say were in my head

Were real alright, as real as you like

We said, "When you are alone and afraid

I will come to your aid"

Well was it just a dream, just a dream?

Because it was real to me

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

Was it in my eyes... OOoooo

^^^ Hahaa!!!

Thalassa, I listened to Again and Again and you're right, he pronounces them differently. I never would have picked up on that! Good find!

Aww, thank you. It felt like me - it was either that or 'Have I become a tiresome bore?'

^^^ I will have to listen for the two different 'Agains' .

I love your siggy line, 'Lass!!!

I'm playing this as I type, and I can't quite believe how much I've come to love it! It went over my head a bit at the Forum, and I got the idea that YHTMA would be my favourite forever, but Again and Again is right up there now. I think the lyrics are wonderful from beginning to end, and even though it's so loud and 'full-on', it completely chokes me up. My only quibble is that it's too short, compared to most of the other tracks on the album! I especially love the way Tom pronounces the two Agains differently, or that's how it sounds to me - in direct contrast to the 'but they still sound the same' line! Wonderful song.

Really wasn't sure about this one at first. But now I think it's amazing. I definitely turn this one up!

The things you said were in my head... I really like both versions, the final and the demo...it's a very dancing song :)

I also love the lines when you are alone and afraid I will come to your aid.

I LOVE the demo version! it's much better than the album one... The final part is the 'uh uh uh uh' we heard in the video and it's a pity it was cut.

Anyway, the album version is still one my favorite songs on the record ;)

I really didn't enjoy this at the forum, but it very quickly grew and grew on me - I love the handclaps. What I first thought 'too busy' is really just a lot of hard work! I can't wait for the Little Noises gig to reinforce my new opinion.
